Student Success Initiative

The guiding idea behind this project is to provide enhanced academic and advising support to students, primarily in their first year, to help them successfully complete college. The initiative involves two key activities: 1) professional advising to support first-year students in navigating college processes, track their performance during the year, intervene with support when needed, and then transition to faculty advisor for their second and later years; and 2) a 1-credit mandatory orientation course modeled after First Year Experience to acquaint students with the demands of college and provide tools, habits and skills for success.
